It was used on Main Line trains by the Adams Express Company at the turn of the century, carrying express freight for that company's service. Its listing reflects the role of rolling stock in the railroad's operations. The car is one of a group of Pennsylvania Railroad cars nominated together as a thematic resource, valued because the group includes a range of historically significant types. Examples of these cars are now rare, and the car is among the few surviving specimens of its type. The nomination treats the cars in the group as genuine originals, not replicas, which gives each one value as a surviving example of railroad equipment from the period.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Juniata Shops (Pennsylvania Railroad)","architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":null,"vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:32.233042-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/79002283.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71993161","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/lancaster-county/wooden-express-baggage-no-6076-79002283/"}
